I'm gonna let you guys in on a little secret, we all joke about our play book being written in crayons, but the reality is it is very complex. On most plays, the qb has to call the play at the line of scrimmage after reading the defense. We may not be passing the ball, but we have a thousand run checks built into the offense. If you want to know why Harris isn't playing, it's because he checks into the wrong running play way too often.

Correct. We are slow at calling the play because our young QB isn't fully confident in the play book yet. This team will continue to improve at each game.

yeap. checks to a play ran in a diff formation than what they have the personnel for.

I think the coaches actually simplified it this week. jennings is still a 50% passer, but hopefully he can just manage until Harris is ready. I dont really think the offense is hard to watch, Just run LF. he is fun to watch.

Honestly, later in the game, plenty of times the play was in and jennings had time to read and audible. i recall being impressed we were actually getting up to the line with 15 seconds on the clock instead of 5.

For the record, I live in Florida, and hate all the teams there. I was SO GLAD to see the Gators finally get what's coming to them. But you have to admit, they were out for blood. I'm glad to see LSU get the win. They deserved it. They earned it. And that was a miraculous kick if I've ever seen one.
